Retrenched

Today is a Sunday...and im called to report to work...weird. I begin to imagine things like i will pick up a call from the person saying, "Thank you for your service during this period with us, this is to inform you this month of Nov will be your last month"

My supervisor was agitated when he was on the phone with me yesterday. The thought of working on sun was weird. Furthermore, recently, i cause the company to compensate a client due to my mistake...haha. Hmm...if i do get retrench, guess i wouldn't be state of shock since im mentally prepared.

Reason to be retrench
1. U make mistakes more than others
2. Yr easily replacable
3. U do not fit to the corporate culture
4. Ur young, u can move to other corporates
5. Johnny walker style...we fired you so you can pursuit your dream

If i do go, i dont mind since i wasnt the one who decide to leave. I will miss some collegues esp Ms Atas. Guess she will add me into her FB by then since i left.

Where will i head to then?



Johnnie Walking Retrenched Style to me
You remember what your promise when u go for the interview?
You have achieved it.
So now you are now fired.
Its time to follow your dream
Even you leave, you still have a bright future
Keep walking.
Clap clap clap (background)

U know, the last part when the fired guy turn ard with his box, looking at the people clapping...i think it was part of his imagination cos he is drunk...who the hell want to be fired??? Unless he win toto...HAHAHAHA...i will like to have retrenchment in Johnnie Walker Style.

no retrenchment is gonna happen to you bro, not till your 1 yr bond is up,so dun worry too much.

The 900 staffs due for retrenchment account for the investment arms (aka DBS Asset Management) which DBS BAnk is going to disband temporarily --- To cut cost, and mainly to raise fund + erase the investment embarassment(lehman bond saga).

I, however, do pity those staffs who are being sacrificed in order to cover up for someone elses' mistakes and the so call "necessary needs to address the investment blunder in order to bring ppls' confidence back in DBSAM)
